Chappie Four has arrived! xD
Thankies for reviewing Neru-chan! Makes me happy. xD
Fred is your left foot? Is there something you're not telling me Fred?!
Fred: ... -Shifty eyes-
Disclaimer: I own Orlando. No, not Orlando Bloom, Orlando from my story. I always think of Orlando Bloom when i type his name...XD I do not own Aly, Neru, Narnia, C.S. Lewis or any characters from FFVII.
Chapter Four
"What the hell?!" Sirhc cried while once again realising that everyone around her except Neru and Aly were frozen.
"Shit! Is it him?!" Neru asked, frozen with fear.
"C'mon, we gotta get out the classroom!" Aly yelled, afraid that this one would catch on fire too.
"Wait..." Sirhc stood still while examining the classroom next to theirs. "The fire isn't moving...In fact, it's going down." Sure enough, the flames were retreating-getting smaller and smaller until the three girls could no longer see them. "Let's check it out."
"Are you crazy?" Neru exclaimed. "We'll probably die from suffocation cause there's so much smoke!"
"No...I don't think so." Sirhc replied. "I think its Orlando. Maybe he wants to talk to us."
"Yeah, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind!" Aly exclaimed with a determined look in her eye.
"Let's go." Sirhc carefully walked over to the door-which somehow still worked even though the classroom had just exploded-and opened it. She gasped in shock when she saw what was inside. Everything was the way it used to be. The tables were all neat, there was no fire, no smoke and it looked like nothing had ever happened.
"What on earth...?" Neru whispered.
"Welcome."
They all looked to the centre of the room where Orlando was sitting on a desk with his signature know-it-all smirk.
"You..." Aly hissed. "How dare you!"
"Now, now...no need for such a display of anger."
"You are so annoying!!" Neru suddenly screamed, startling everyone. "I hate your attitude!"
"Well, I'm sorry about that then, but I cannot change who I am. And I was expecting some thanks, you know."
"Why would we thank you?" Sirhc snarled. She really hated this man.
"I guess...you will find out later. But ask yourself this; would you know what you know now, would you be able to use your powers, if you had never met me?"
"Uh..." Completely dumbstruck Sirhc looked back at her friends. "Does it matter? You tried to hurt the people important to us!"
"But they never got hurt did they? You discovered your powers and saved the day."
"I never got to..." Neru whined.
"Ah, but you will, little one."
"Imma not little!"
"But still!" Aly cried. "What if we didn't get our powers? They would've gotten hurt!"
"Then, that would have been a shame. I knew you had it in you, after all, you have been dreaming."
"So? They're just dreams!" Sirhc argued.
"Yeah, and you tried to make Sirhc mad at me!" Aly continued.
"That wasn't my intention, no."
"Then what was your intention?" Aly huffed, getting fed up.
"I was curious to how much each of you knew and how you would react in such a situation, since you will be encountering many of those situations."
"What do you mean?"
"I need you three to...leave this world."
"What?!"
"You gotta be kidding me."
"Yay adventure!"
"NERU!!" Sirhc and Aly yelled at the same time.
"...What?" She asked innocently.
They sighed before turning their attention back to Orlando. "What the hell are you on about?"
"You may have realised by now that you are dreaming of a completely different universe and those men you dream of are real people."
"Yeah, I figured it was kinda weird how we all dreamt of them..." Sirhc muttered.
"I need to send you three to their world for a little while. It is completely necessary and no, I cannot tell you why yet." He smirked after seeing Aly's pout.
"We don't get a choice, do we?" She sighed.
"No. You don't. And don't worry, you will understand soon enough."
"Can we at least have the rest of today before you teleport us to some strange foreign world?" Neru asked.
"Time is crucial..."
"Look, dude, we gotta say goodbye to our families or something first ya know..."
"Why do you assume that they will miss you?"
"What?! Why you--"
"You will not be gone that long. Have you not considered that their will be a time difference between the worlds? They will not realise that you are gone."
"Is it like Narnia?!" Neru asked excitedly.
"Narnia? Have not heard of such a place before..."
"Oh my gosh...shameful. Everyone knows about the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!"
"Um...Neru? I think you're forgetting that he's super magical dude. I don't think he has time to read books by C.S. Lewis." Aly pointed out.
"Oh yeah...never mind me."
Sirhc shook her head while laughing at her friend's stupidity.
"Enough of this talk. You need to leave. Time is precious."
Aly groaned and rolled her eyes. "Whatever dude...so this world we're going to...will we have to fight monsters? Save innocent civilians?"
"You will see when you get there. Now, I bid you farewell."
"Eh?"
"Huh?"
"Kupo?"
The three girls let out a scream when they floor disappeared from beneath them and they were sucked into a portal.
"Urgh...owwie..." Sirhc opened her eyes and looked around at her surroundings.
'Okay...I'm definitely not in that classroom anymore...wait! Where is Neru and Aly?'
She sighed in dismay when she realised that they weren't with her. She was all alone in a creepy unknown place. Just perfect.
As she looked around, she saw that she was in some sort of storing room? There was many files and reports all stashed away. And she only saw one door-no windows. And the door was locked. Just great. She was trapped in a room full of paper that smelled like her grandmother. F'ing fantastic.
She frowned and made her way over to the far side of the room.
'Might as well find out something about this world while I can...' She thought grimly while starting to skim through some documents. Nothing made any sense to her though.
'Wait a second...these are all in Japanese and yet I can...'
"Who's there?!" A male voice called out through the room, startling Sirhc and making her fall over-landing in a pile of files.
"Oww..."
"What do you think you're doing?!"
She reluctantly looked up and gasped when she saw who it was. "Mr. Silver Hair!" She cried out but immediately covered her mouth afterwards. And not because of the glare he was giving her.
'What the hell! I just spoke in Japanese! And so did he!'
"Excuse me? Would you mind telling me what you are doing here?"
Sirhc shuddered as she heard him speaking fluent Japanese once again. But somehow, she could understand him perfectly, as if she knew the language.
"Um...hi?" She nearly had a heart attack when she heard Japanese words leave her mouth once again. "No...way...not possible! This isn't happening...No, no, no, no..." She tried her hardest to speak English, but she couldn't. It was like someone had erased her whole English dictionary inside her head and replaced it with a Japanese one. "Orlando did this! I'm sure of it! There's no possible way this could happen to me otherwise!"
The man standing next to her raised an eyebrow before repeating a little annoyed, "Why are you here? This is a restricted floor containing important documents. The door is locked at all times."
"Well, then how did you get in?!" She snapped, a little annoyed at how he was questioning her. It was disturbing her thoughts.
"I have a key." He replied simply.
"Oh."
He smirked before pulling her up off the floor. "I don't think you realise how much trouble you're in, do you?"
"Huh? Why would I be in trouble?" She asked slowly, still not used to hearing Japanese exit her mouth.
"I already told you. These documents are important. And you just broke in to read them, which is a major crime." He stated while giving her a creepy smile.
"Whoa, no way! Why would I want to read this crap! I can't read them anyway! I don't speak Japanese!"
He raised an eyebrow. Was she high?
"Well, I know I'm talking it now, but I really don't know the language! I'm Australian! I speak English! It's just that every time I speak, Japanese comes out of my mouth instead of English! It's really creeping me out!"
He sighed and shook his head. That had to be the worst lie he had ever heard. Time to try something simpler. "How did you get here?"
"Well, I was talking to Orlando with my friends and then this huge black portal swallowed me up and I woke up here!"
Okay. Now he definitely didn't believe her. She didn't have any sort of teleportation materia on her, so there was no way she could have teleported here otherwise. Maybe he should just hand her over to the Turks to deal with. He didn't have time for this.
"Do you know who I am?" He asked impatiently.
"No. Why would I?" She asked stupidly.
"Have you never heard of SOLDIER?"
"What? No..."
"Shinra?"
"Nope. Hey, where am I anyway?"
'I don't believe it...how can she not know what Shinra is? She's in the Shinra building after all! Now, I need to figure out wether she's lying, or telling the truth...'
"Come with me."
"You didn't answer my question!"
"If you knew who I was, then you wouldn't be talking to me like that." He sent her a strange smile.
"Uh...rightio then..."
"Just follow me." He led her out the room and along several hallways, through a massive building. Although, it was only one floor. They finally reached an elevator and went a few floors up before exiting and he led her along a couple more twisting hallways that completely confused her mind.
'How on earth does he know where he's going? This place is so big!' She thought as she stared around in awe.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, they arrived at a room that had writing next to the door saying something about a 'meeting room'-Sirhc didn't really pay attention, because she was too busy staring at everything else.
"Come on, stop gawking." He opened the door and shoved her inside.
She frowned at him and huffed annoyingly, but still entered, nonetheless. It was a plain room, the main thing inside was a table in the centre of the room and a couple of vending machines, a microwave and a coffee machine to the side. It looked like a normal room that people working at a company would stop and have lunch in.
She frowned again-obviously expecting something more exciting or different. "This isn't much different to my world..."
"Hm? Did you say something?"
"Uh...no...nothing. Don't worry about it..." She mumbled.
"Sit down."
"Don't order me around, jerk!" She complained, but took a seat anyway.
He hid as smirk as he watched her. She definitely did not know him, or she would not have said that. He gracefully took a seat next to her while staring at the door.
"What are we here for?" She asked a little rudely.
"Waiting for my colleague to arrive...I need to speak with him."
"Humph. This is boring."
"I do not care what you think."
She glared evilly at him, but he didn't seem to notice, or he chose to ignore it.
After awhile, she gave up glaring and went back to staring at the table in front of her. 'I wonder if I'm really in trouble...I sure hope not, I haven't even done anything wrong!' She sighed and ran a finger through her hair. This really sucked. Where on earth were Aly and Neru? This wasn't any fun without them...
Her thoughts were interrupted as the door opened and a man walked in.
She turned to face him and gasped when she saw who it was.
Yes, it was Neru who said 'Kupo'. Couldn't help myself. xD
Yay! They're finally in the Final Fantasy World! :D
